Man United leading arch-rivals in pursuit of £35m-rated midfield star

Man United leading arch-rivals in pursuit of £35m-rated midfield star


 Manchester United will sign Ruben Neves ahead of Arsenal.

Manchester United may beat Arsenal to the signing of Ruben Neves, according to ESPN. Arsenal were said to be dominating the hunt for the Wolves midfielder, with Wolves willing to sell for £35 million. However, the uncertainty surrounding Paul Pogba's future has put United in a strong position to sign Neves.

DON'T MISS:

The Portuguese international is one of the league's most promising young midfielders. The 24-year-old, who is also a seasoned midfielder, is at the appropriate stage in his career to take the next step. He hasn't reached his peak yet, therefore United might have him for the rest of his career.

Manchester United are in a familiar situation with Pogba nine years later. United let him go for free to Juventus in 2012, collecting a pittance in compensation. They paid a record price to reclaim him in 2016, but they might lose him for free again next season.

DON'T MISS:

As a result, they're considering possible replacements, including Neves (h/t ESPN). Because of the Pogba scenario, the club has decided to pursue Neves ahead of Arsenal. The Gunners hoped to sign him to replace Granit Xhaka, who is rumored to be on his way to Roma. Spurs were rumored to be interested as well.

United are well aware of Neves' abilities. They have first-hand experience with him in the Premier League and should go all hard to sign him if Pogba decides to go. He is more defensive than offensive, yet he frequently helps to the assault. £35 million is a reasonable price, and United would be wise to sign him ahead of Arsenal.
